The Donroe Doctrine: What Venezuela Means for China, Russia, and Iran | The State of Play
January 13, 2026 • 10:00 – 11:00 am EST
Brought to you by
Nicolas Maduro was a key ally of the so-called CRINK countries (China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea) in Latin America. But President Trump’s actions in Venezuela seemingly support an attempt to alter the balance of power in the Western Hemisphere.
The CSIS Geopolitics and Foreign Policy Department invites you to a special episode of State of Play on the lessons these states are learning from Maduro’s capture and what it means for their interests going forward on Tuesday 13 January from 10:00am to 11:00am. The discussion will feature Dr. Ryan Berg, Henrietta Levin, Dr. Vali Nasr, Dr. Maria Snegovaya, and Will Todman.
This event is made possible through general support to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
